SPOILER ALERTIf you have not started to read this book, and have stumbled across this blog, be warned, there are some spoilers in these passages.
A lot of chapters were crammed into such a short period, if you ask me. Each having a significant purpose, however. We start with Hans gambling with others, one being an obnoxious man named Reinhold Zucker. I know I should be expecting this knowing Hans, but I love how he is so kind to share his winnings even while gambling. Reinhold gets angry at Hans, in my opinion, for a very stupid reason. He should be grateful that he is being given another cigarette. In the next Chapter, Liesel meets Michael, who came to town because his brother died. Liesel was given a cigarette, and I was shocked that she actually tried it. Ugh, the way it was described. "Smoke filling up her lungs". Doesn't that feel...bad? He takes Liesel to his mother's house so that she can read to her. It must be very sad to have lost a son. I understand that, sort of. You never think that a friend could possibly die, but we always forget that he or she could drop dead the next day for who knows the reason. I know that feeling, especially.
Hans is extremely lucky in this chapter. He defiantly feels pain, though. His kindness has great repercussions.
To be honest, he sort of deserved it, if anyone.
I hope you enjoyed this post, and that if you happened to stumble across this blog, that you will be inspired to read along with me.
